Yessiree Bucko...made a trip to the Okanagan just for tastin'. I like some of the whites & even some of the reds...most people don't realize that the BC Okanagan wine area ("The Golden Mile" etc.) is a valley that runs north from the northernmost DESERT in N. America. In other words, hot enough to do decent red wines.

Sumac Ridge has done some decent Cab Francs..I like the '96. Gehringer Brothers produces consistent wines, & some varietals that I haven't had elsewhere...like Ehrenfelser (?sp). I like their Riesling.

I'm also a fan of the ice wines ( though the prices prevent me from partaking regularly). Will never forget the Gehringer Brothers Merlot-blend RED ice wine ('96?) that was nothing less than an in-the-mouth raspberry explosion.
